Important note: Arabic is written in the
opposite direction of English (from your Right to Left).

Notes:

To know the Arabic name of each letter in from the following
table, just leave the mouse pointer stand still for a moment on the letter
figure (it will show in a "tooltip").

In Arabic there is no letters equivalent to the letter "P"
nor the letter "G" (as in "Game") in English, but some
languages that use the Arabic alphabets (such as Urdu and Farsi) put three dots under the letter (Ba')
which is then pronounced as the "P" in "Pound" and the
letter (Jeem) which is then pronounced as in "G" in "game".

The letters with the pronunciation marked in red, are the closest
pronunciation possible in the English language. To really know how they are
pronounced you should hear them and try to get used to them.

One more thing.. in Arabic there is no such thing as a capital
or small letter, you just write the letter down (I just wanted you to know
that !!).

. HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OUT OF THIS ARABIC LANGUAGE COURSE? Do you hate huge paper dictionaries as much as I hate them? While learning Arabic or if you are traveling to an Arab country, I highly recommend getting an Arabic language electronic dictionary. I spent some time browsing the Internet looking for a good one. I ended up choosing the Language Teacher by ECTACO.
I was really startled by the value! They make dictionaries in more than 20 languages (including Arabic) and in various price categories. I recommend these dictionaries to anyone who intend traveling to Arab countries or wants to learn Arabic on the move. They also make great gifts!
You can familiarize yourself with such dictionaries here. Make your time learning Arabic easier - you have no idea how much help you can get from a tiny handheld device. I guarantee you'll be as amazed as I was.
